The Wastewater Operations staff’s duties are essential to ensuring public and environmental health by providing reliable sewer collections and effective wastewater treatment. They are responsible for monitoring and testing the influent (incoming), effluent (out-going) and sludge samples. The collection system includes sanitary sewer lines within the City, as well as gravity mains, hundreds of manholes, four Lift Stations and sewer force mains. The Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) , located at 15385 SW 160th St. was completed in 2008. It operates as an activated Sludge Treatment Plant with UV disinfection. The design of the facility allows for up to 1 million gallons of flow per day. Effluent (out-going) flow from the WWTF consistently meets or exceeds all Kansas Dept. of Health & Environment Protection agency requirements.
